[aprssig] spaces in object names

[Steve Dimse]

Geez Pete, you just can't let it go.

It does not matter what the definition of printable spaces. You  
believe what you want, I believe what I want. It does not even matter  
what the intent of the APRS WG was when we invoked that phrase.

What we need to do is to discuss what to do with spaces in objects.  
Allow or not. Trailing spaces significant or not. And no personal  
attacks. PLEASE!
